Do you want to learn to swim?
You can! Christchurch City Council has excellent swimming facilities around the city, and you can access free swimming lessons simply by purchasing a discounted pools membership with them.
How does it work?
- CCC offer a free adult swimsmart program, offered at all CCC pool facilities, so please check their timetables for session locations and times.
- Register with us below, and we'll flick you a reply email to confirm you are a current UC Staff member or UC Student
